Aderack Wraige strode through the bustle surrounding the Hub with a mild sense of trepidation. You see, Wraige was not necessarily up to any good here, not that any good ever went on in this place. The mercenary stopped by a street vendor that was hawking refreshments, his eyes flicking over a security patrol that was shaking down some passerby. He moved on without buying anything, skirting around the stall and back into the foot traffic. This 'Glorious Jewel' he'd come to smelled, even through the filters of his mask, and he felt the need to bathe within minutes of setting foot on it. He wasn't picky, not by a long shot, but something about this star sytem just made him feel slimy. He'd come here once before, in a previous life, but that was different, a time long past. He wasn't that Coway when he wore this armor, Ikhail died when the mask sealed over his face. Now he was Wraige, and Wraige wanted money.
It was a simple mindset for the acolyte to adopt. If he made pains to think like that, it would lessen the chance of him slipping up when he was in Hutt space, and vice versa Imperial. He shrugged the rough tan cloak around his shoulders, exposing the blaster that hung under his arm. In his experience, the guards were less concerned with carried weaponry than they were with concealed, and making it obvious he was armed made sure he fit in with the rest of the people here. The blaster was an older model, the kind that had been used by Coruscant security before the Sith came along, and had been modified extensively. Some alterations seemed like field jury rigs that had become permanent, others more professional, but regardless it wasn't going to win any beauty contests. Other than that there was little about the mercenary that jumped out. His armor was obviously custom built, but seemed more a formality than protection judging by the materials involved, and other than the impression that he was humanoid, he was just another armor covered bounty hunter skulking around a cartel world.
He knew that entering the Hub wouldn't be a problem if he just wandered in like he had a reason to, and he wasn't up to anything destructive. There shouldn't have been an issue for now, the problems might come later. With a brief nod to one of the guards, he sauntered through the door, and into the Hub lobby. There were guns and guards everywhere, and Ikhail was almost tempted to fire a blast in the air and see how many people hauled leather and accidentally shot the person next to them out of nerves. There was a strong feeling of fear and anger in the force around him, a sense that the dark side was strong here, but untapped. He took a deep breath, relaxing with that realization, and made his way to the Kajidic desks. He waited around with the other hopeful grunts, ignoring their posturing and mean mugging when it drifted his way. He was likely the most dangerous person in this line up, and one wrong move from any of them would find a Ripper round through their throat. He'd ran with slavers and pirates since he was ten, these louts were nothing to him. Finally it was his turn, and he leaned in to talk to the recruiter casually, the voice modulator in his mask making his voice hum and deepen slightly.
"I find myself in need of a lot of credits in a hurry and don't have many compulsions about how they're earned. Anybody looking for a hired gun?"
